Some soups are more than a meal — they're a ritual. Seolleongtang is one of Korea's most beloved comfort foods, a milky white ox bone soup that has been simmering in Korean kitchens and street stalls for centuries. The broth gets its signature ivory color and deeply savory richness not from spices…

👋 Welcome! 👋

When I started The Ferguson Recipes in 2006, my main goal was to create a place where I could collect and present our favorite family recipes in an orderly fashion, without all of the distractions of other recipe sites.

At The Ferguson Recipes you will find recipes, plain and simple, just like the recipe cards you have crammed into that well-worn binder of your family's most beloved recipes.

Many of the recipes included here are Ferguson family favorites passed down through the years. Many more are recipes we have gotten from friends or shamelessly "liberated" from other recipe sites. And a lot of the recipes are from recipe collections which family members have participated in creating, such as "Cooking with Carl, Hugh and your Friends", "Cooking With Cow", "The Sears Sun Cookbook", and more!

Things you WILL and WON’T find at The Ferguson Recipes:
  • You WON’T find a bunch of images. If you need a picture showing you how to stir something, you don't belong in a kitchen!
  • You WILL find each instruction on its own line. (Well, mostly.)
  • You WON’T find categories for vegan or gluten-free. We might have them, but we don't go out of our way to highlight them.
  • You WON’T find that stupid “Jump to the Recipe” BS! No Jump Zone

Yes, many...most...of our food images are AI created. They all faithfully represent the recipe they're attached to. We make no aplogies. Probably 90% of the food images you see in recipes and on food packages are professional food photographs, not something edible that someone actually just cooked. We just skipped the styling and photographer costs by using AI. And we pass the savings on to you. Hahahaha! That's funny because this site is free! 😂😂😂😂😂

Chief Technology Officer - He spends way too much time writing code with a quill pen and ink, but he also writes the best "blurbs". If you give him a recipe name, ingredients, and directions, he will spit out all the details in seconds, making up stuff if he needs to.
